This game stands out because it blends unique RPG combat with character development, all wrapped in an MMO framework—something rarely seen before. Many players focus on the endgame, but the story and progression feel more engaging. The PvP scene looks solid based on what I've watched. I initially downloaded it but was disappointed by the character creation system and the gender-locked classes, so I removed it. If they address those issues, I might give it another shot. Note: The game has been available in Korea for at least a couple of years, meaning it likely had more content and quality when it first launched.
I don't necessarily dislike it. Perhaps that's why it works. The outcome might be preferable. It seems like the bigger picture isn't as significant as it appears. Probably we'll find out later.
Most roles are strictly limited to one gender. Creating characters like a female paladin or a male mage isn't feasible.
There certainly is a fair amount of activity, but so did New World when it was erm, new. Part of the difference might be because Lost Ark is "free". Curiosity got the better of me and I tried it out for a couple hours. I also don't get the appeal myself, but that might be enough to get more people to try it, and some of it sticks. Now, the bigger question might be if it has staying power.
